Sourcing sustainably

Embedding sustainability in procurement

Sourcing sustainably to DB means maintaining a consistent supply of materials whilst mitigating negative impacts and optimising positive impacts on the environment and local communities. A large enabler is local sourcing, which allows DB to access high quality materials, support local businesses, and reduce our environmental footprint.
We are committed to encouraging our suppliers to comply with world-class standards through HEINEKEN’s Supplier Code Procedures. Based on a number of relevant International Labour Organisation standards, the code drives positive impacts on the environment and communities.
